Jochen Käß wird erster offizieller Deutscher Meister im E-MTB

Das Oberschwäbische MTB Team CENTURION VAUDE hat ein weiteres Kapitel in seiner unglaublich erfolgreichen Geschichte geschrieben.Bei der Premiere der Deutschen Meisterschaften im E-Bike Sport konnte Teamfahrer und MTB Ikone Jochen Käß auf seinem CENTURION Backfire E 2600i den Sieg und damit das erste E-MTB Meistertrikot für sich behaupten. Für Jochen ist dies der insgesamt 4. Deutsche Meistertitel und für die Marke und unseren Hauptsponsor CENTURION ein weiterer Meilenstein in der Firmengeschichte. War es doch CENTURION Chef und MTB Pionier Wolfgang Renner, der vor vielen Jahrzehnten das erste Mountainbike überhaupt nach Europa brachte. Das E-Race Bike für dieses Rennen wurde von den beiden Team Mechanikern Roli Vogelmann und Dennis Schelkle akribische bis ins Detail vorbereitet. Aus Gewichtsgründen wurde sogar der Lack vom Rahmen abgeschliffen werden. Die technische Vorgaben vom Bund Deutscher Radfahrer waren streng und klar formuliert:
Dies wurde bei der technischen Abnahme vor dem Rennen auf einem Prüfstand gemessen und geprüft, sodass hinsichtlich des Sportgeräts bei allen Teilnehmern „Waffengleichheit“ herrschte. Das Rennen selbst ging über 100km und 2.300hm. Auf dem abwechslungsreichen Terrain in der Vulkaneifel ging es von Beginn an sehr taktisch und schnell zu. Am Ende war es Jochen Käß, der mit diesem Sieg eine weitere besondere Trophäe neben seinen vielen anderen DM Titeln und fünf BIKE Transalp Siegen sein eigen nennen darf. Zweifelsfrei ist er damit einer der erfolgreichsten Deutschen Mountainbiker. Photo Credits: Privat |

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.

The Story
The picture was taken on the summit of Marmolada after an ascent of the Vinatzer/Messner on the south wall. We didn’t reach the summit until 10:00 p.m. so we bivouacke (planned) there. We woke up to this riot of color …
